Hello All, Happy New Year to you all and I hope you all had a good Christmas. Just a reminder that our next meeting is this Monday (8th) when we have Dr....
There is a new comet in the evening sky, Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1). It shalln't get very high or be around long, but if we get a clear evening sky in the next...
I remember a couple of nights ago I saw a moon halo - not a 22 degree one - smaller, probably one of those diffraction halos because it was rainbow tinted....
It was there from at least 23:00 onwards as we saw it after leaving the pub at the Newbury meeting. Tried to get some pictures when I got home but camera...
Saw it this evening at about 16:45 in a break in the clouds. It was obvious in the 8x42's and also in the 80mm. Very strong yellowish colour and nice tail....
Hi, I didn't see it, but on Tues I saw a nice double ring glory as I was flying back from Glasgow to Heathrow. (glory = concentric coloured rings with the...
Nice 22 degree ring spotted from Uffington ~0040h just now. I've only seen that glory around my head when looking at the opposition point down in a mirky river...
There was another 22 degree Halo around the moon tonight. It appeared about 11.45pm and was still there 5 minutes ago, when I chose to come in - it's quite...
Hi, Yes, on the An Teallach ridge (south of Ullapool) when the mist was just below the ridge. When we turned our backs on the Sun when walking on the ridge we...
... Yes, it was visible near the centre of Abingdon at about the same time when I was coming home. One part of it was obscured slightly by some slight cloud,...
For everyone who was at the talk on Mars Weather, and for those who weren't, here's a link to the Mars Movie we saw, http://themis.asu.edu/valles_video...
You will need to look a lot earlier than 6.00pm though, it will have set by then. Start looking by about 4.45, probably too low by 5.30. Incidentally, it looks...
Inayat There is very little cloud to the west at the moment and with the cooling temperatures, there will be no more formed. Cirrus from the next front is ...

I've just comeback indoors after seeing an absolutely beautiful comet. I went out at 4.40 and found it very easily in 10x50 binoculars, and could already see...
All, There's a good finder chart at: http://media.bonnint.net/wtop/5/590/59071.jpg which tells me that it was behind the building opposite when I was trying to...
Fully agree Bob, I had a trail of 30 people from the office having a look, then the Wallingford Sports Ground lights came on next door and rather flattened the...

I think it was better naked eye or binoculars than with a telescope, even the 80mm. There was a long tail visible to the naked eye and witht he 8x42's and not...
Just come back from Lodge Hill (just N of Abingdon) where the view was great until Tilsley Park switched on their lights! However they didn't spoil the...
Evening All! I got a great view of it from a local point of high ground, and I have to agree with Owen that it looked better with the naked eye or in...
For anybody who missed it - i hope you see it tomorrow it's fantastic! Anybody tell us what time to look out in the morning? Jayne. From: "Julian Mole"...
No point in trying to look tomorrow morning - the weather forecast is terrible!! It is actually a better view in the evening in the sense that the window of ...
